Just don't accept it, if you wait you will get more than 1 pound a mile, unfortunately the drivers will not stand together even though it is the perfect time to strike as the delay on issuing PCO licences means they cannot get rid of drivers so easily
IF ALL THE DRIVER STOOD TOGETHER THINGS WILL CHANGE, WE HAVE THE PCO SO WE HAVE THE POWER!!
 
About 80% of trips are £ 1 a mile now .it's soul destroying ...I'm cherry picking but it's getting harder and harder not to accept these shit fares..
I'm so pissed off..
What about you guys? View attachment 765555
Mikey, that is quite bad - which times do you work? Try changing this.

I was in Chelsea and Shepherds Bush on Monday around 6pm till 8pm. Was deffo getting better priced jobs than that.

I try cherry picking the good jobs but this can be time consuming as you know time is money. I now do jobs between £5-9 unless I know its worth it and will be quick. Those small jobs work out to be good and adds up quick

I always work 7 pm to 4 am..due to family commitments.
I think Tottenham hale is one of the worse places to wait for jobs.. there's always drivers there and willing to do low ball jobs just to get out of the area or want a quick match up.
I moved up to bishopgate and morgate and eventually got good offers

I'm cherry picking too much...so it's costing me money..it's so frustrating to see low ball offers.. when we got huge expenses and customers are paying huge fares

Then try driving to another area and starting there, but because it 7pm traffic gonna be mad.

As Salaam saying just try and do only small trips - then after 9pm after turning app off. Maybe drive empty handed to W1 or similar where it's busy. Try a few different strategies until one works. Good luck.
